My parents had been to the Garden Center Cafe for lunch several times and had raved about the food and the service. While visiting, we went for dinner and was very disappointed. To start with, the hostess sat us on the patio and provided bread and water. After that, it took nearly 30 minutes for the server even stop by our table. It was not busy, and the server claimed that there was a misunderstanding. She thought the other server had our table, he thought she did, when really no one did. Oh well, our server was pleasant and took responsibility for the error. She did take our orders after that and brought salads. Unfortunately, my salad had many pieces of rotting lettuce and that flavor polluted the entire salad. It was not pleasant. After clearing away my un-eaten salad, I asked the server if we could please have our wine. This was now over an hour after sitting down, and we still didn't have a drink. She forgot. Finally, I ordered my prime rib entree medium rare and received it nearly well done. On top of that, it was cold. No, I didn't want dessert. We wont be back.

We live in Fallbrook. When we want a great dinner for a great price and a little quiet time from the kiddo we escape to Garden Center Cafe and Grill. This resturant is only open 4 nights per week so make sure to call before you go. Oh and get a reservation! The food is exceptional and the wine is great! It is a hidden Gem right on Mission Road!

Whether you dine inside among the local artists paintings or outside on the patio by the waterfall, the dining experience is always wonderful! The menu is diverse for breakfast and lunch. Two of my favorites: cheese stuffed french toast with lemon curd and the mahi sandwich! The Garden Center salad is also a must with fresh greens, feta, bacon, golden raisins, onions, pine nuts and a sweet onion vinaigrette!
